  2. Yes, I do! And, I think that if we did this with current events, like news articles, we could have some good discussions, or written reflections focusing on the key words. I wonder even about taking passages from their science texts...I'll have to try that, could be part of a read/write exercise.

  4. These are really cool looking - great job! I agree, Caryn, I think the students would enjoy these. I like the idea of using them for current events - gives a different type of assignment for the current event forum.
